faceless

one day you'll stop calling about small things
as an excuse to hear my voice.
you'll start to unsave our pictures,
the ones we sent because we couldnt stand to be apart.
you'll still keep our early convos,
full of plans and promises,
until one morning they're suddenly gone.
but we'll continue to text every now and then
checking in to see how each other are doing
but i won't have a contact picture,
the one that made you smile anytime i called.
I'll be faceless, just a name texting you, until you don't think
to check in anymore.

one day a girl wearing a yellow sundress
with long brunette hair and dark brown eyes
will hear your voice
and send you pictures
and tell you her plans and promises.
you'll text her about your day
and your heart will flutter anytime you see her name pop up in your notifications,
anytime you see her contact picture. 

and I will be nameless,
a chapter you can't seem to recall.
